Those extra rounds downrange could be what gets him locked up. Until he did that he was OK. A prosecutor will pounce on that.
Perhaps. I hope not - especially as nobody else that I know of got hurt. This was practically a war zone! Although I imagine under obama, a civilian getting caught up in a fire fight in Afghanistan would be cause for an investigation.
I get the idea of being responsible for every time you pull the trigger. But the kid just had a molotov cocktail tossed at him! The concept of “reasonable response” is probably not front and center for the next few seconds.
I’m still not sure if the first guy that shot is the same as the guy that was on the phone (to 911 I suspect and hope) and was watching over the guy as he was being treated by the other guy. But if it is - kudos to him. And then he wisely made tracks as the mob descended onto him.
